Finished: Knitted Pincushion / Doo-Dads Cushion

I completed the three knitted rectangles for this pincushion back in October but put off assembling it because I didn’t know how to sew it
together perfectly. Well, fast-forward however-many months and I still didn’t know, but I decided to just do it anyway-- any-which-way.

For some reason, I had a hard time visualizing how I was supposed to
put this thing together. Now that I finally have done it, I’m not sure
why I was so confused… (g)

Anyway, it’s done, and I think it looks alright, despite my
imperfect construction. I didn’t sew the bottom, so the separate loops are still
not connected to one another. If it turns out that they’re coming apart
too much, I’ll go back and stitch the whole thing together.

I think I'm going to use mine as a knitting/crocheting doo-dads cushion.

Welcome!

I'm Michael (frequently found online as "MossyOwls"), and this is where I keep track of my crafty interests. I love to crochet, enjoy the occasional small knitting project, and am beginning to play around with (simple) machine quilting and watercolor painting. (No telling what could come next!)

Before I became obsessed with crocheting, I used to blog about another crafting passion-- polymer clay. (Might pick it up again, one of these days...)
